Avatar III EOD Robot

A New Tool for EOD and BOMB TEAMS

Built on the same foundation as the widely used, industry-standard Avatar III Tactical Robot, the Avatar III EOD Robot features an extendable, five-axis robotic manipulator arm and compatibility with a remote Percussion-Actuated Nonelectric (PAN) disrupter – giving EOD teams a host of new tactical and bomb disposal capabilities.

Specifically, the robot integrates with the CarbonFire 10 PAN Disrupter, a market-leading laser sight and disrupter designed by the Concept Development Corporation. The CarbonFire 10 mounts easily onto an AVATAR® Manipulator Arm, allowing the user to aim and fire the disrupter from a safe distance. In addition, the Avatar III EOD Robot features all of the same tactical capabilities and benefits as the Avatar III Tactical Robot, including high-quality video, push-to-talk audio, stair climbing ability, dual IR and LED lights, and a rugged drop-resistant chassis.

The Avatar III EOD Robot fills both general support and direct support capabilities. It can contribute to the following scenarios:

Dismount Operations can benefit from a robot that weighs under 45 pounds and is back-packable and disrupter capable. The robot’s all terrain durability and small size (easily small enough to fit in any helicopter or ATV) allow for maximum flexibility.

Special Event/Large Venue responses also benefit from the robot’s back-packable, portable nature, as it can fit in a Polaris or golf cart and can be carried with mini QRF teams. The robot adds remote capability without a large response truck.
